Broken bleeder screw
I took my car to a shop to have the hub/wheel bearings replaced, and at the same time new SS brake lines.
When the guy at the shop went to bleed the passenger side brake, he found the bleeder screw was broken.
He says he can replace the caliper ($300 bucks for new caliper). Obviously I dont want to do this. Or it may be possible to get the old one out but may damage the caliper in the process.
What should I do, Ive been searching the for sale by members forum but am having a hard time finding calipers (found one but looks like someone may have bought it already, waiting for reply). I really dont want to drop $300 on a new caliper.
Ahhh, this sucks!
